Personal difficulties can be very disheartening. Whether you are experiencing emotional pain, are seeing your children struggle to make good decisions, or are longing for a greater sense of well-being, you can be left feeling defeated, helpless and angry. But things can get better. As a clinical therapist, I am experienced in working with those who are facing life’s struggles. Together we can explore the source of the problems, set goals to improve your situation, and lay out steps to reach those goals. All that is needed is a commitment to work toward making things better, and a belief that you are not stuck in the muck of today. I am a graduate of Notre Dame, and hold a Master's degree in clinical counseling. I love helping people and have a warm approach, but am also known to challenge people to take active steps toward improvement and a happier life. Truly things can get better once you take the first steps, and I would be happy to help you reach your goals of improved happiness, success and joy.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience. I am licensed in both New Jersey and Wisconsin. My therapeutic focus is to help people live well and move beyond suffering. Therapy is an opportunity that allows for you to have a deeper connection with yourself, helping you to show up differently and more authentically in your life. Through exploration, my clients gain knowledge of negative patterns and limiting beliefs. This information increases self-awareness leading to powerful conscious change. I draw from several therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs. My style is warm, direct, honest and open. I welcome you to share your story. I am hopeful that together we can create powerful change, helping you to live well and see new possibilities. It’d be my pleasure to journey with you on the path toward that place. www.yournewlight.co

I am a licensed psychologist with 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy in a variety of settings. I have worked across the lifespan but most enjoy working with adults of any age. I am grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based, whole-person approach. This means that I deeply value the lens through which you view yourself, your life, and your experiences, and seek to help you not just overcome difficulties and manage symptoms, but to live your life in a way that is consistent with your personal vision and values. I want my clients not just to survive, but to thrive, and I am continually in awe of the resiliency of the human spirit and how people rise above even the most difficult of situations to live meaningful lives. My style is compassionate, respectful and direct. I see you as the expert on your life, and my role as someone to guide, share observations, support trying new things, and to provide suggestions when desired. I use a variety of approaches / interventions, including short-term, more solution focused approaches, along with longer term exploration of the experiences that have shaped you, and the patterns in your life and relationships that may be blocking you from living your best life.

Hello and welcome! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe in a strength based approach to personal healing and growth. As a therapist, I respect the opportunity to work with individuals and families struggling with grief and loss by providing a safe place to share, learn and heal. I foster empathy and acceptance as patients and families address life changing diagnoses and care needs. With over ten years of experience providing support to individuals and caregivers struggling with dementia and mood related issues, I utilize an integrated approach including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Psychotherapy. I seek to empower individuals and families with the knowledge and tools they need to promote dignity and wellness. Finally, my background in grief and loss counseling has also prepared me to address the unrecognized and often untreated issues associated with pet loss, specifically the complicated and overwhelming emotions associated with chronic and terminal care of a pet, related end of life issues, and the emotionally challenging process of pet surrender. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Your insight and willingness to seek support is the first step toward healing and growth. I wish you the best on your journey!
